Groups and Text assignments for 2011 A few notes on the assignment:
Each group will submit one Text Review Sheet. If you divide the work amongst group members, make sure that all information is then typed and put on this one sheet; this sheet will be submitted electronically, in a Word document, to the teacher.
Absences and Group Responsibility: If you will be absent, it is your responsibility to notify your group ahead of time. Groups that have members who will be absent should agree ahead of time who will be responsible for completing what sections of the assignment, and it is then that group member's responsibility to complete and transfer their work to the rest of the group so that the entire assignment can be turned in on the due date. Any groups that have members who are not in compliance with the group's agreed procedures should (1) notify the non-compliant group member about their non-compliance if at all possible, and (2) notify the teacher as soon as possible before the due date so that the rest of the group will not suffer a penalty for the group member's incomplete responsibilities.
If you will be absent for the entire assignment and/or otherwise unable to complete the required work with the rest of the group

would prefer to work individually: It is your responsibility to, first, inform the rest of your group members, and second, inform the teacher. I will then provide you with an alternative assignment.
Remember, this is a graded assignment, but even more importantly, you are completing an assignment that will benefit all members of the class who are taking the AP Lit exam; the quality of your work will determine the usefulness of these sheets as a class resource.
